- Designing for and with Community
-
- The Web is not about static websites anymore - Web 2.0 is full of sites where people are engaging, collaborating, sharing and mashing in entirely new ways. Such constant activity requires close collaboration of both back- and front-end developers to build robust scalable systems. George Oates, lead designer of Flickr, will discuss how a Web 2.0 environment needs to be designed with activity and community in mind. She will also discuss how Flickr was designed to enable interaction and control within its community as well as for interoperability with other applications.

- Social Network Portability
-
- Why is it that every single social network community site makes you re-enter
all your personal profile info (name, email, birthday, URL etc.) and re-add
all your friends? With new social networks being launched nearly every
week, the problem of "social network fatigue" has gone from being a geeky
early adopter problem to being much more widespread.
- This talk will discuss the problems, the goals of social network
portability, and what latest open data formats, techniques, recipes and open
source that sites are using to connect to the open social web.

- The W3C work on policy languages
-
- Already very early in the development of the Web, W3C addressed policy issues. PICS was the first initiative to deal with illegal and harmful content. P3P followed addressing the privacy issues and the tracking of users on the Web. W3C did a workshop on DRM and the web in 2001 and followed the development of that issue since then. To get more insight on the privacy challenge on the web and to find out about new ways for solutions, W3C participated in research activities in Europe and the US. The talk will report from those activities from the PRIME IST project and from the Policy Aware Web project. Both activities lead to a workshop on privacy in October 2006. Outcome and perspective of this workshop will present the auditorium with an outlook of developments of the near and not-so-near future.

- Joost Widgets: a Platform for social television
-
- This talk will introduce the Joost Widgets platform. Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet, blending the best of television with the best of the Internet. Joost Widgets are one of the key areas where our viewers experience this mix: built from simple, powerful, and standardized Web technologies, Widgets are independently developed software components that run in the Joost client, and can be used to provide fun, games, facts, and community features alongside television content. A widget can be as simple as a Web page, or as complex as any traditional application - unlike traditional Web pages and software applications, it lives inside your television. The talk will explain how the Joost TV experience can be extended by anyone familiar with core Web standards such as CSS, DOM, XML and Javascript, showing how Widgets can be used to make TV a more social and engaging experience.
